FTP Sever
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the internet. FTP is a client-server protocol, with separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
An FTP server is a computer that runs FTP server software and listens for FTP client connections. When an FTP client connects to the server, the client can send commands to the server to download or upload files, or perform other tasks related to file management and information exchange.
To use FTP, you'll need an FTP client program on your computer, such as FileZilla or WinSCP. You'll also need the login credentials (username and password) for an FTP account on the server. Once you have these, you can connect to the server and start transferring files.
It's important to note that FTP is an insecure protocol, as it transmits data and login credentials in plain text. For this reason, it is generally recommended to use a secure alternative such as SFTP (FTP over SSH) or FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) for transferring sensitive files.
